Game's Take on the Theme
My game is a roguelike bullet hell that happens inside the casino of a virtual reality world. Eveything spins, the bullets, the character (has to spin in some ways to dodge the bullets), the selection of bosses is a slot machine, the upgrade system is a pachinko, and there's also a "story spin" at the end with the final boss. :)
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Yes, I did everything myself, including the music and the art. :)

Pretty cool game in general, I loved the upgrade tombola system, that was really unique. One time, two upgrades got stuck inside the tombola and I got them anyways, haha, that was a funny moment. Good job!!
Thaaanks!! Yeah, I got the same problem programming it, where the balls could get stuck, so the game gives them anyways to you if they got stucked! Glad its working as expected! Thanks for your nice comment and feedback, really appreciate it <3
So polished game and I liked the background story and visuals!
Thaankss for your comment a lot <3 The fact that you liked my visuals seeing what game you made truly honours me, thank you so much for playing and leaving this comment :D
I think you're already aware of how good this product is. So I'm just going to leave a comment to prove I was here. XD
I didn't expect this to be this high up ngl, I was trully suprised when I realized that. Thank you so much for trying the game and leaving a comment tho :D I truly appreciate it <3
Thaank youu so much for your amazing comment and cheering me up! <3
Dude! How did you manage to make this game in just one month? xD I'm a solo dev too, so while playing your game, I kept thinking, "HOW!?" The art, the game design, and the OST... THE OST, BRO! They're insanely good! You did an amazing job. GG! ❤
Let's say I didn't get much sleep XDDD HAHAH, thanks for praising my OST like this bro, you're the best! And thank you so much for taking the time to play and leaving such a great comment! <3
Hey I enjoyed the experience! Was a little on the easy side at times but the atmosphere and storytelling with in the setting was great. I love the addition of the radio and the leaderboard too.
Thank youu so muuch! :D Yeah I wanted to make it a bit easier for people to be able to finish the game quick, I will probabbly balance it more when the jam ends. Thanks again for taking the time to play and comment <3
Awesome gfx and etc.!!! Best regards
Thank youu so much for playing the game and leaving such a kind comment! <3 Glad you enjoyed the sfx!
What an awesome game! I chose Greed (without knowing) as my first boss and thought I could collect the yellow coins for $$$. Turned out I was actually greedy AND wrong XD. The arcade visuals are perfect and deliberate, making things very easy to see, and the retro music complements it very well. Managed to get myself on the leaderboard too, which btw, is a nice touch! It's a bit on the easier side, but I'm sure you'll be tweaking and balancing stuff. Congrats on a game well made!
Thankk you soo much! :D I love that you realized the pun of making the greed bullets appear as something collectable, to show greed hahaha. Also thanks for your amazing comment and feedback. I will for sure balance and update the game once the jam concludes! Cheers <3
I had a great time playing! I loved the SFX and VFX in the transition screens—I got a bit of a Hotline Miami vibe, which I really enjoyed. Good game!
Thaaank you so much for your comment! :D And so glad you enjoyed it that much, truly thankfull <3
That was awesome, i liked the sfx and music. About gameplay: i didn't feel impact when i've been hit, damage is too low, i really was thinking green attacks increase my hp. But you made the most of idea of the theme. That was really good.
Thank youu I will update the game when the jam ends to balance the game a bit more no doubt :D Thanks for taking the time to play and leave a comment <3
This is an awesome game in every aspect, I have nothing more to say!
Thank you so much for playing <3 and for leaving a comment :D
This is way too awesome to play with a keyboard... Arcade mode on!
I've managed to play only with arcade controls by leaving the mouse in the center of the screen... It added some extra difficulty but it was so much fun!
Bro! You are the GOAT HAHAHA, I prommise I will make controller support when the jam ends so people can actually play it in arcades easily, thank you so much for taking the time to play the game on an actual arcade, this was so sickk!! :D :D :D
What a good game! I can appreciate the efforts you guys took on polishing, making the game so like a real arcade machine game.
Thankk you so much for trying my game! :D Its not actually "you guys" cause was just me hahahaha, but you believing it was made by more people gives me even more happines, thank you soo much! <3
This was awesome! Loved the visuals and everything feels so polished. Amazing job!
:D Thank youu for your comment, really appreciate getting comments like this ones <3 you make my day
One of the best games I've seen so far. 5 stars in everything, really good.
Wow man, thank you so much for your rating and for taking the time to leave a comment! <3 Really, thank u :D
I really appreciate the well-balanced interplay between the player's movement speed and the boss attack patterns. Usually, games like this make the player extremely fast to encourage mistakes, but even here, I still feel the tension. I also love the visuals, music, and the overall concept of boss selection and progression through the roulette mechanic. A very enjoyable game—great work!
Yeah, I thought of not making it too fast paced because the limited space was also kind of a challenge! Really glad you enjoyed your time playing my game, truly thankfull <3
This is the best game!! Great and high-quality work!! Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to play and for your words <3 really appreciate it :D
I really like this one!! It's really cohesively put together, the theming really ties together the whole experience. I love the clean and consistent outline everything has, and the background effect reminds me of Balatro, which definitely aligns with the theme! The shop / plinko vendor was a really nice addition to break up combat, and having a chance to heal with the items was a godsend given health is persistent. A lot of the boss patterns were interesting and difficult too!
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I'm really happy that you liked it so much! And thank you for taking the time to leaving this review <3 trully appreciate it
Wonderful job! your art style is amazing and you are so talented!!!!!
Thank yoou so much, it's really amazing to read comments like this, appreciate it a lot <3
I have no words to describe how perfect this game is. The pixel art, the astonishing music, the story. Everything in this game was so well planned and programmed. Each boss is unique and the idea of each one representing one of the 7 sins makes the game a thousand times more interesting. The radio in the title is the icing on the cake, where I can hear every banger, especially the track from the wrath boss.
Wonderful job!
I don't know what to say, really, thank you so much for your words and for taking the time to play my game. I'm really happy that you enjoyed the radio too! I didn't think anyone would notice or play it. Again, thank you so much u r the best <3
